Cooking tips
- If you keep the heat on while mixing the rice, beginners may be slow and the seasoning can easily burn or the rice can clump. It is important to turn off the heat before mixing.
- Heating instant rice in the microwave adds moisture and makes the fried rice soggy. Use it unheated and firm so each grain gets coated and stays fluffy.
- If the kimchi is too sour, increase the sugar slightly. If the kimchi is not fully fermented, you can omit the sugar.
- If the seasoning does not dissolve well when stir-frying the kimchi, do not panic. Add a tiny amount of water to help it spread evenly without burning.
- Crush the whole sesame seeds with a mortar or your hands and sprinkle them like powder so the nutty aroma permeates the entire fried rice.
Recommended for
- Those who struggle with soggy or clumpy kimchi fried rice every time.
- Cooking beginners who are not good at controlling heat and want to make perfect flavor without burning the seasoning.
- Those who want to recreate a professional-level fluffy, smoky kimchi fried rice using leftover sour kimchi and instant rice.
